Sojourner Truht was influenced by the treatment of slaves and women. Being a slave herself, some of her influences could have been some of her owners:

Charles Ardinburgh and his father

John Neely

Martinus Shryver

And of course her parents stood behind her opinions. Robert, her love, could have encouraged her, as he was beaten to death by his owner.
